Allen Park – The Detroit Lions added two players to the roster Saturday, activating defensive end Armonty Bryant and signing linebacker Steven Longa off the practice squad. To clear the space, the team waived wide receiver Aaron Dobson and offensive tackle Brian Mihalik.
The Lions held a roster exemption on Bryant, after claiming him off waivers from Cleveland on Tuesday. They needed to make a decision with him by Monday, and by activating the edge defender on Saturday, it suggests there’s a good chance he plays Sunday against the Eagles.
Longa has been with the Lions since the first week of the season.
